Clearwater Beach is the "Best City Beach On The Gulf Of Mexico" according to Dr. Stephen Leatherman ("Dr. Beach"), a Florida International University professor who has been ranking America's beaches for more than 15 years. Caladesi Island and Sand Key beaches have been named among the best natural beaches in the United States. Caladesi Island State Park is currently ranked #1 and previously placed second, primarily for its water quality, rustic charm, clean beaches, on-site amenities and its emphasis on wildlife. Pinellas County is the only Florida destination which can say it has two of the top 10 beaches(Fort DeSoto Park was the #1 beach in the United States in 2005). These annual ratings are based on 50 stringent criteria that cover almost every measure of beach health, including sand quality, water temperature and presence of litter. Leatherman's list is based on personal visits and constant contact with naturalists, park rangers and scientists around the nation.

USATODAY.com readers ranked Clearwater Beach in their Top 10 list of best beaches from Maine to Hawaii. Condé Nast Traveler has also recognized Clearwater Beach as the best city beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Clearwater Beach is consistently ranked "best beach" by Tampa Bay Magazine. In their first ever poll, Florida Sports Magazine readers echoed "best beach in Florida."

In addition, Clearwater is very proud to be designated a Blue Wave Beach. This designation assists the public in identifying the nation's best beaches. This certification program, overseen by the Clean Beaches Council, promotes beaches which are managed to protect their natural assets, insuring excellence in the areas of water quality, cleanliness, safety, services, habitat conservation, information, education and erosion management. Caladesi Island, Honeymoon Island and Sand Key Park beaches also received the Blue Wave Designation.

If this isn't enough to convince you Clearwater Beach is a very special place, it has also been received the Clean Water, Clean Sand designation from the Healthy Beaches Campaign, a project of the Laboratory for Coastal Research. This designation recognizes beaches that preserve their natural resources, including wildlife, maintain EPA standards and reduce pollution. Caladesi Island State Park and Sand Key Park have also been so recognized.

Clearwater Beach is also the only beach in Pinellas County with year-round lifeguards.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
